| Massive blaze destroys businesses and apartments in Haines VIDEO/PHOTOS: A fire broke out overnight in a small strip of businesses in Haines. The Quick Shop, Outfitter Liquor Store, Outfitter Sporting Goods, and Mike's Bikes and Boards were burned to the ground. Four apartments were also destroyed by the fire, which was reported at about 9:30 p.m. The source of the fire is believed to be in one of the apartments in the building. All persons in the building are said to be accounted for. By morning, the building, owned by Mike Ward, was smoldering, but the blaze was under control. A GoFundMe account to assist the families in the apartments has been set up by Haines resident Ken Ashbrook. According to Ashbrook, all of the residents, about 12 people total, including a new family with a baby less than one year old, have lost their home along with all their possessions.

| Flight catches fire while making hard landing at Las Vegas airport VIDEO: Flames and smoke were seen coming from a plane that made a hard landing at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on Saturday afternoon. Frontier Flight 1326 landed in Las Vegas around 3:40 p.m. after "The pilots detected smoke and declared an emergency," a spokesperson for Frontier Airlines confirmed to CBS News. The aircraft landed safely and all passengers and crew were evacuated. No injuries were reported and the passengers were bussed to the terminal. The flight left San Diego at 1:51 p.m. and landed in Las Vegas at 3:37 p.m., according to Flight Aware. Video posted to social media showed flames and smoke billowing from underneath the plane as it landed at Reid Internation Airport. Fire crews were seen on the runway fighting the fire as smoke continued to fill the surrounding area. KLAS-TV CBS 8 LAS VEGAS Tennessee volunteer fire department helps community amidst loss of fire station and truck VIDEOS: The Elk River overflowed due to heavy rain from Hurricane Helene, leading to significant flooding that swept away the Elk Mills Poga Volunteer Fire Department (VFD) station and one of its fire trucks. Fire Chief Michael Walsh said members of the VFD were already responding to emergency calls when the station started flooding. "They were actually out on a few tree calls and different things, and then it just kept getting worse and worse," Walsh said. "And then they got back and they tried to get all the trucks out and take them over to the store where it's a little higher ground. And they actually got them all out but one. And that's when it took the fire department away, when it took the last truck." Walsh said gear was also lost in the flood, but the other four fire trucks only received a little water damage. WJHL-TV CBS/ABC 11 JOHNSON CITY New Orleans Fire Department connections stolen in 'epidemic' of thefts VIDEO: The New Orleans Fire Department is being troubled with what officials are calling an "epidemic" of thefts involving Fire Department Connections, or FDCs, located on commercial buildings in and around the Central Business District and French Quarter. According to the NOFD, the FDCs allow response crews to connect to the standpipe and sprinkler systems in high-rise buildings and other commercial structures. The NOFD says the missing connections, which are made of brass and presumably sold for scrap, could "possibly delay" or "completely prohibit" crews from supplementing water pressure to a building in the event of a fire-related emergency. Officials are asking all commercial building managers and maintenance engineers to inspect their buildings' FDCs for missing caps and fittings. WWL-TV CBS 4 NEW ORLEANS Firefighter grows Colorado's first 1-ton pumpkin, breaks own record PHOTOS: A firefighter from Aurora who had previously set the state record for the heaviest pumpkin has beat that record with another pumpkin weighing over one ton. Brad Bledsoe, a fire medic with Aurora Fire Rescue, broke the state record with a pumpkin that weighed 1,955 pounds late last month. The next weekend, another grower presented a pumpkin that was 21 pounds heavier. But on Saturday, one of his home-grown pumpkins, named Winifred Sanderson (a nod to the popular Halloween film "Hocus Pocus"), became the first in Colorado history to weigh over one ton. The Great Pumpkin Commonwealth weighed the pumpkin at 2,083 pounds at a Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off at Nick's Garden Center and Farm Market in Aurora. "I really wanted to be the first person in Colorado to grow a one-ton pumpkin," said Bledsoe.
